I’m feeling so wired — I can’t relax, drowning under last straws that are breaking my back

I want to feel okay. I want to feel anything other than “just sad” all the time

I’m feeling all alone, even though I’m not alone — I could reach some friends if I could reach for the phone

Who cares how you’re feeling when you’re feeling down? You’re an adult with an apartment downtown

But I’m still just a kid — I’m still in the thick of it

Maybe I’m a little taller than I was

I’m back in my bedroom, just like I was in high school

Am I being dishonest with myself because

I wanna be cool? Can I be you?

I'm feeling so stretched out, I'm feeling hollow. Do you have a spine that maybe I could borrow?

Do you know if I could get back every day that I've lived and wished I was someone else?

I wish I was someone else

But I’m still just a kid — I’m still in the thick of it

Maybe I’m a little taller than I was

I’m back in my bedroom, just like I was in high school

Am I being dishonest with myself because

I wanna be cool? Can I be you?

Sinking in the shallows, some sorry dredges of wasted youth

Last pieces of my childhood slipping through

And all the time I borrowed, searching for the right face to choose

I can’t keep living like this, can you?

Can you?

If I’m always looking backwards, I’ll get my own back against the wall

Feeling sorry for how I used to be doesn’t solve anything at all

Just a matter of being trapped in my own head, wishing I was someone new

Who cares if the words I’m saying resonate with any of you?

I’m still just a kid — I’m still in the thick of it

But I’m getting better than I was

I’m still just a kid — I’m still in the thick of it

But I’m getting better than I was

I’m back in the bedroom that I had in high school

Am I being honest with myself for once?

I wanna be cool — can I be you?
